Ghiblify

Ghiblify is a Studio Ghibli–themed new tab page for Chrome — a calm, customizable dashboard of widgets over a rotating background of Ghibli film stills. It's my biggest side project, currently on its second major release.

v2 is a complete rewrite in React 19 + TypeScript, bundled with Vite. Every widget is draggable, resizable, and edit-mode aware — clock, weather, todos, pomodoro, sticky notes, quick links, and a bookmarks panel that slides in from the right with cross-folder search.

What's in v2

  • 12 widgets with consistent drag, resize, and edit modes.
  • 14 themed palettes including a glassy Frost mode and a high-contrast accessibility theme.
  • 7 languages — English, 日本語, Español, Français, 中文, Português, 한국어.
  • Cursor animations — soot sprites, sparkles, petals, leaves.
  • 45 background images bundled locally so they load reliably worldwide.
  • Live release notes — the "What's new" modal links to Discord instead of carrying changelog in code.
